. 'tion, andis claim.

In the drawings To all wko'mz'tmay'conoemr I Be it known thatI, Orro G. SCHWARZ, a citizen of the United State's-,and a resident of New Chicago, in the county of'Lakeand State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements" in Window- Sashes; and I. do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact 7 description thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to the char acters'of reference marked thereomwhich form a part of this specification.

'- This invention relates to a novelwindow sash and more particularly, the invention "relates to a novel combined swinging-and sliding window sash 'in whi'ch one of the sash members is hinged at one side to the windowframejambso 'as'to be swung toa ward and from its closed position'in the manner of a door, while the other sash member 1s mounted to "slide in the swinging member inthe manner of an ordmary 'sash.

The purpose of the inventionfis-to provide an economical, light and exceedingly simple sash "construction of the character described, which may be mounted'in: place by relatively unskilled labor and alsoto provide a sash structure by which-thewindow frame maybe washed from the inside of the' window, and which also permits of "a wide range of ventilating opening at the window. P g The {invention consists in the combina- 'tion and arrangement of the parts shown in the drawings and described in the specificapointed out in the appended Figure 1 is an nside-elevation ofa win- .dow sash and amounting embodying in'y in vention.

It may be fastened in lace by fasteners'll of anyv suitable design. "Said swinging sash comprlses vertical stiles 18, .18, upperand 'lowerralls 19, 20, respectively, and a central railQl (Fig. 2). 22-designates a pane s of glass which extends across and is supported in the usual manner bythe stiles and upper and central railsof the swingin frame.

It supports-a pane of glass'27 which-nor- 1 V v mally closesthe lower part of the window. I.

the .lintel to producexweather tight joints. .The lower rail of the swinging sash fits inside the sill 12 andsaidrail and said lowerrailis formedwith a lip "or extension31 to fit against theinner face of the sill, as shown in Fig. 2. The: said stiles 18 "of-the swinging sash are provided at their inner edges with vertical tongues 32 V whichextend a distance beyond said edges.

and are provided just exterior ':tosaid tongues with vertical' grooves 33 --(F1g'. 6)

The stiles of thesliding sash-are proand sill areshaped to provide a drip groove; L

.With the construction described, a number 50f advantages become apparent; First, it 7 0 be seen that both sides of the; window are readily available to wash the glass-panes when theyswingingsash is swung inwardly.

Furthermore, the sliding sash may be operated in the usual a manner ofi am ordinary sliding Sash to more orle'ss open-the lower part f. thewindow-,there-being neimpedi- 1 ment to the usual movementoi such sliding sash. .Moreover, a v full or {partial window 2 opening may beseoured by-the use--ofthe swinging seshgbeyond Orlfess than that-at;- erded by thee-aris ng ofthe sliding-sjash,by opening-the swinging sashmmteordess-and looking it in, any'posi on. v Another -advantage. otthe onstrnetio istha allotthe parts are. simpleto manufacture" ands- 0 I mount inithefrelne.
